German Cross Strap
hello all....I have this nice German cross strap and have a few questions....
1) can anyone identify the maker mark "UE171" ?
2) regarding cross straps in general.....I assume since this is brown it is strictly on the political side of things and not wehrmacht related ?
thanks in advance for your input !
the two ends
rzm mark
adjustment buckle
snap clip construction
The RZM mark denotes political issue, NSDAP or NSKK would be my guess.
There wouldn’t be RZM marks on military issue items.
A UE (Uniformen Effekten) number, usually correlates with the RZM M5 codes. Usually, however not always and RZM M5/171 was allocated to Hermann Sprenger, Iserlohn. This is of course simply a suggestion as to who manufactured some of the metal fittings on what appears to be a high quality and in theory, “political” cross strap. Hope that this information is of some use.
Regards and best wishes,
David
